Earth Rangers partners with children across Canada to "Bring Back the Wild" by launching four new kid-powered conservation projects!

TORONTO, Sept. 19, 2012 /CNW/ - Earth Rangers — a charitable
organization dedicated to educating millions of children across Canada
about the importance of biodiversity — celebrates the start of a new
school year by launching four new Bring Back the Wild conservation projects.

Bring Back the Wild educates children and their families on the importance of biodiversity
and raises funds to support the acquisition and restoration of
endangered habitats across Canada. Funds raised will also further the
reach of Earth Rangers' national School Outreach Program. This year's Bring Back the Wild projects include:

"The Vancouver Aquarium is committed to the conservation of Oregon
spotted frogs, a species that has seen a 90 per cent decline in
population," says Dolf DeJong, Vice President of Conservation and Education at the
Vancouver Aquarium. "In fact, the Vancouver Aquarium was the first institution in the world
to reproduce Oregon spotted frogs in human care as part of the
worldwide Amphibian Ark (AArk) program. As a nonprofit society
dedicated to the conservation of aquatic life, the Vancouver Aquarium
believes that Bring Back the Wild can play an instrumental role in
protecting the most endangered amphibian species in Canada."

Bring Back the Wild is available to children across Canada at www.earthrangers.com and is also a part of Earth Rangers' School Outreach Program for
participating schools across the country. To join the campaign,
children register at www.earthrangers.com where they can:

SELECT the animal and habitat they want to protect

CREATE their own Earth Ranger Avatar

EMAIL family and friends to ask for donations

COLLECT rewards for their efforts along the way

Since launching Bring Back the Wild in April of 2010, over 180,000 children across Canada have joined Earth
Rangers and started their own Bring Back the Wild campaign.

"We are truly amazed and inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of our
young members every day," says Peter Kendall, Executive Director, Earth Rangers. "By holding everything from baking, art and book sales, to annual
lemonade stands, to giving up birthday and Christmas presents and even
their tooth fairy money, our members have collectively raised over
$570,000 to protect species in Canada including; Jefferson salamanders,
grizzly bears, wolverines, peregrine falcons, spotted turtles, American
pine martens, monarch butterflies and plains bison; their collective
action is proof that when we work together we can Bring Back the Wild!"
